Snoqualmie Pass Rock Blasting Spurs Sporadic Closures on I-90 This Week

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and contractor crews plan to close I-90 for an hour on Tuesday, April 30, Wednesday, May 1 and Thursday, May 2 from 7 to 8 p.m.

The closure points will be from Gold Creek (milepost 54) to the Price Creek interchange (milepost 61).
